Chesneys Alchemy Linear Ribbon Burner RB1000
The Chesneys Alchemy Linear Ribbon Burner RB1000 brings the visual impact of a real flame fire into contemporary interiors without requiring a traditional chimney or flue. As part of the Alchemy Bioethanol collection, this larger linear burner produces a striking ribbon flame effect that suits modern feature walls, room dividers, media walls, and bespoke fireplace installations.
Its 1000mm linear form and bold flame presentation make it an ideal choice for homeowners, interior designers, and architects who want a dramatic focal point within a clean, minimalist aesthetic. The result combines strong visual appeal with high installation flexibility.
Contemporary Design with a Distinctive Ribbon Flame
The RB1000 is designed for modern interiors where the fire becomes part of the architecture itself.
A continuous ribbon flame runs along the full length of the burner, creating a wider and more impactful visual effect than a conventional bioethanol fire. An anti-reflective glass upstand, anchored to the top plate, protects the flame from draughts while maintaining clear visibility.
Alchemy’s V-shaped flame channel enhances performance by stabilising the flame. This design reduces disruption from air movement and helps maintain a consistent, visually balanced flame pattern.
Flexible Installation Options
The RB1000 supports a wide range of installation configurations.
Designers can install it as a freestanding fire open on all four sides for maximum visibility, or adjust the configuration to suit partially enclosed designs. It also works as an inset fire within bespoke feature walls, fireplace surrounds, or architectural installations.
This versatility makes it suitable for open-plan homes, luxury residential projects, hotels, and commercial interiors where a real flame feature is desired without the constraints of a traditional fireplace.
For bespoke projects, experienced fireplace installation specialists can help ensure safe integration and seamless design alignment.
Efficient Bioethanol Performance
The Alchemy range focuses on improving efficiency and extending burn time while maintaining strong flame performance.
The RB1000 features an 8.5-litre fuel tank and offers two operating levels. On the high setting, it produces 8kW of heat while consuming approximately 1.4 litres of ethanol per hour, delivering around six hours of operation per fill.
On the low setting, it produces 5kW of heat and reduces consumption to approximately 0.85 litres per hour. This extends burn time to up to 10 hours, depending on conditions and usage.
These options allow users to balance heat output, flame intensity, and fuel efficiency to suit different environments.
Advanced Alchemy Bioethanol Technology
Alchemy uses a patented combustion system that enhances burn efficiency and extends operating time compared with many conventional ethanol appliances.
This technology also supports installation in smaller rooms than those typically required for competing bioethanol products, giving designers greater freedom when planning layouts.
Combined with its architectural design and extended ribbon flame, the RB1000 offers a refined alternative to traditional gas, wood, or electric fireplaces.
A Statement Fire for Modern Interiors
The Chesneys Alchemy Linear Ribbon Burner RB1000 is designed for projects where visual impact and performance carry equal importance. Its extended flame line, flexible installation options, and efficient bioethanol operation make it a standout feature in both residential and commercial interiors.
Whether used as a room divider, media wall centrepiece, or bespoke inset fireplace, the RB1000 delivers the movement and atmosphere of a real flame while supporting contemporary architectural design.
